jungly
Like a rainforest
Jungly means resembling or characteristic of a jungle—dense, tangled, overgrown.
It describes vegetation that has grown wild and thick: The backyard had become jungly after years of neglect.
The word can also evoke the humid, chaotic atmosphere associated with tropical forests: jungly heat, jungly undergrowth.
